Maybe throw some stocks in the mix


What about a coin backed by Gold and by a trusted centralised company?

Race base slavery was obviously not invented by the USA but it wasn't invented by Europe either, slavery in Africa was between different ethnicities.

All regions of the world had slaves, Europe didn't have more than other regions, it had less and there are the first ones who started the movement of abolition and succeeded first then pushed for everyone to abolish slavery and still do; if it wasn't for Europe there would probably still be slaves in most countries so there deserve less blame than than the middle easterners, less blame than the Asians or Americans and especially less blame than the Africans where slavery is still big : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa

Slavery in Africa : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa

Slavery has existed for thousands of year, it was huge in Africa, the Africans were indeed the biggest slavers of Africans and were the ones who sold Africans to Americans; slavery was big in the middle east and existed in Asia too

The European, more precisely catholics white europeans were the first one to abolish it and push for its global abolition and they succeeded; yet they seem to have the ones who get the shame now!? It's very stupid and giving blame to Europeans or white for slavery is changing history since every culture and all ethnic groups were having slaves and white were the first one to abolish it

By the way, the current problems of the Black community in the USA are due to government programs that are suppose to help them but keep them in poverty and it's due to the fight against marijuana that results in way more negative than positive

It is good for the poor country to have companies that invest money in the country and employ people that would have done a worse job instead and can now better support their family

Governments are also in bed with big companies

It is not only Europeans who had slaves but every culture and every region of the world; they didn't start it and the European are the first ones that abolished it and pushed for the abolition in other regions of the world, they are still the ones who fight the most against the horror of slavery

The State is the one which established racist laws, educating children in state schools about the superiority of the White and it even subsidised the slaves in the USA by bringing them with tax money

In a free society some crazy racist may have businesses that don't accept some workers based on gender or race but they would be at a disadvantage compared to other businesses and would lose part of their clientele and most importantly it would be extremely rare if not non existant

Think people saying that so called "African Americans" (which I always found a bit of a racist term because they are not African, they are American) are under performing economically and socially in the USA because they have been slaves is extremely racist and undermining for the community, they are under performing because they have been the center of attention of the State subsidies that keep people poor

You probably thought I lost it but you will understand what I mean if you watch the end of the Stefan Molyneux's video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auQJMLWx6og&list=UUC3L8QaxqEGUiBC252GHy3w

Molyneux is very direct but after you are shocked by what he is saying you usually start thinking that what he is saying make a lot of sense; in this video, he is talking about the fact that slavery was present in every culture and most countries for thousands of years : Africa, Americas, Middle East, Asia and Europe until Europeans fought to abolish it, yet we still hear that the White Europeans were the biggest bad guys concerning slavery and should feel ashamed when they should be praised if anything

BUMP

Nobody found any infos? PMs welcome

Am craving a good steak at the moment

Oh yes I agree and the market and private capital would develop the technology but pouring billions and sometimes tens of billions in public programs without caring much about the cost or if it's profitable is a bad idea

It makes me think of hundreds of billions rail road constructed that everyone like when you could pay an airline ticket a month to every citizen for 100years with the same money!

Peter Schiff is also saying that a lot of people take students loans to pay their rent and support themselves

Hopefully news like that will come up in a few years

We already see an increasing of countries trading in Gold or other currencies than the USD

If things go write 10,000$ in 2017 wouldn't be surprising but things can go wrong; hopefully they won't and we will see a price in the 5digits before 2020

The price is pretty strong at around 400$ considering the negativity and the talks of the price going down sub 300$, we could be at 600$ before the end of the year and get the new spike up to a new ATH in 2015

I think he was disapointed by making 3.9BTC from 0.03

Congratulations! Makes me want to play!!!

This thread will come back up in the feed when the price will go up closer to 1000$

You get loans in Dollar or Euro and you buy tangible assets in countries that respect the property rights
